Lotus1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm looking for guidance on naming my first module for CPAN. So far I've been calling it
LG::QuickMemo_Plus::Extract::Memo
The purpose of the module is to help me extract the large number of memos I have written on my LG smartphone in QuickMemo+. The module extracts the memo text from the lqm files that QuickMemo+ exports. I couldn't find any software that could open those files other than 7zip. The lqm file is actually a zip file that contains a JSON file that contains the memo text so it was an easy module to write. Each memo is in a separate archive so it is very tedious to extract each memo by hand.
My questions are:
- Is this name acceptable for CPAN? Some other options I considered are:
- LG::QuickMemo_Plus::Memo::Extract
- LG::QuickMemo+::Memo::Extract
- QuickMemo_Plus::Memo::Extract
- QuickMemo_Plus::Extract::Memo
- QuickMemo_Plus::Extract
- Is a module like this needed on CPAN?
- I'm thinking it might be better to just make a small GUI and release the binary on Github. My plan is to do both. But I wonder how many Perl programmers would be interested in this module.
